Throughout the 20th century, Brazil witnessed a significant evolution in the field of monitoring and evaluation of public policies, reflecting political, social and economic changes in the country.In this context, this book aims to explore the evolution of monitoring and evaluation of projects, programs and public policies in Brazil, analyzing the main historical milestones, concepts, types, uses and a special focus, at the end, on impact evaluation, one of the most relevant in this field. Through an interdisciplinary approach, we aim to offer valuable insights for public managers, researchers, students and others interested in improving governance and promoting sustainable development in the country.
